Shel Silverstein Uncensored July 11, 2008

Adapted from "An Evening with Shel Silverstein", eleven sketches and songs by the late poet/folksinger and longtime cartoonist for "Playboy", this is an insightful and pointed look at the darkness in the human psyche - though it's also a throwback to the satire of decades past. Five appealing actors hit just the right notes under Dan Bonnell's direction. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., W.L.A.; Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m., Sun., 2 pm. (Call for added perfs.)
